King James Bible
"Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,"
The Jewish leaders attempt once more to arrest Jesus, with "therefore" linking this to his claim of divine unity with the Father (v. 30-38). The word "again" emphasizes their persistent rejection and escalating hostility toward his messianic identity. Jesus eludes capture, demonstrating that his eventual arrest and crucifixion will occur only at his appointed time. This escape underscores his sovereign control over circumstances, even as human opposition intensifies.
